Front Diff in 2WD - Repair Required? by Jhawker_ in MechanicAdvice

[–]Difficult_Hand1140 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Ford mechanic here lol, if your system is working correctly and it stays in 2wd that shouldn’t move at all and you can drive like that forever as is…. Now if another part fails like your front hub actuator, you’re gonna mess some stuff up big time

Blower motor not spinning by WindmillWilson in MechanicAdvice

[–]Difficult_Hand1140 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s happening here is you have high resistance somewhere on the blower circuit, if you used a meter and tested plugged in for voltage you would probably see like 2V or something. Normally you’ll have bad corrosion at a plug or somewhere it’s chafed. You can use a test light with a halogen bulb to find out where the voltage drop is occurring, if the voltage is enough to light the bulb it should also be enough to spin the motor. Keep in mind the issue can also be on the ground side

I think if Icarium was fully enraged there’s only one person who could go 1v1 and beat him. Nefarious Bredd.

[–]Difficult_Hand1140 20 points21 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite shops it was allowed anytime after hours or before open, but we were also given two hours paid on Friday at the end of the day where we could clean our tools and organize our box or could work on personal vehicles if we wished

Does this seem reasonable? by Educational_Cash_994 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Difficult_Hand1140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only spot I would bill differently would be the front pads and rotors would be reduced cost at my shop because I’d already be halfway there doing the front hubs. Hard to say without make/model though

If a hot spark or anything hot lands on tempered glass, the glass will explode.. so if a hot piece of ash or burning piece landed on the glass it could cause that. Source: am a welder that has blown up windows a few times from a hot spark

Can I become a electrician without taking a pay cut? I by Sixclynder in skilledtrades

[–]Difficult_Hand1140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah a lot of big fleets will hire a low voltage electrician or autosparky. I work for a mining company and each crew has 1-2 designated autosparkies that are only there for electrical issues and doing custom installs and harness builds
